Summary: Skip it
Review: I was really disappointed by this anthology. I read the first two books and was kinda bored. Started the third and didn't get very far. As these are Roberts earlier works, I going to be a bit more forgiving, but they really weren't worth republishing. I do like some of her earlier stuff, but none of these had the emotional grip that I read Roberts for. So, if you don't have time to read every book you want to, put this at the bottom of the pile.

Summary: 2 of the 3 stories were good
Review: I wasn't sure that I'd like "Risky Business" but I was pleasantly surprised. The adventure was interesting without being too involved, and the romance and relationship built very nicely.The same cannot be said of "Storm Warning". There was no romance in the story and the male protagonist was hateful. The story, beyond the love story (if you can call it that), was interesting. It reminded me a little bit of some of Agatha Christie's stories. "The Welcoming" is a very nice story about a man ready to learn to love and a loving, giving woman. Likable characters. This book isn't Roberts' best but the first and last stories are nice reads. If you can get passed the nasty male protagonist and the lack of romance in the second story, you might find the mystery interesting.

Summary: good selection of reprints
Review: If you like reading Nora Roberts' stories and you like romantic suspense this book is for you. The three stories were written in the eighties and they remind you that Roberts has always been an exceptional writer. The stories were selected to fit the title- 'Dangerous' and in each story the main character is faced with a dangerous situation and a partner of the opposite sex to help solve their mystery. In 'Risky Business' Jonas Sharpe is looking for the person who murdered his twin brother. His only link to the murderer might be Liz Palmer, the dive shop owner and single mother for whom his brother was working at the time of his death. Autumn Gallagher arrives at her Aunts' Inn for a long awaited visit. She discovers that her ex lover, Lucas, who spurned her and broke her heart is staying at the inn with. After Autumn is attacked and one of the guests is murdered the remaining guests band together to solve the mystery. Autumn needs Lucas' help but she wonders why he is here. In 'The Welcoming' Charity Ford owns an inn that is suspiciously caught up in some illegal money laundering schemes. Roman DeWinter is an FBI agent sent to investigate. He quickly decides that Charity is not guilty and that he must protect her while he solves the mystery. But he cannot let her know who he really is and he might be falling in love. The stories are certainly formula plots, but they're well written and an enjoyable read for a dreary winter day.

Summary: ok but not great
Review: nora roberts is without a doubt one of my favorite authors. she breathes so much life into some of her characters it seems impossible that they're not real. her plots are inventive, her prose beautiful and her characterization fantastic. that said, this collection does not come close to the brilliance she achieves in some of her books. the best is the welcoming and it's actually quite wonderful, with suspense, great characters and a wonderfully beautiful romance. risky business is decent, not great but still better than many romances you read. but storm warning ruined it for me. it was horrible! virtually all the romance takes place in the past; the male character is brutal and unkind until the very end when he suddenly turns around in a completely unrealistic plot device; even the mystery was dull. also, i hate it when a story is seen only from one characters point of view. autumn is the only one whose thoughts we hear and it makes the story extremely 2 dimensional. all and all, storm warning was the worst nora roberts i've ever read, though the welcoming makes up for it somewhat. the welcoming: *****
storm warning: *
risky business: ***

Summary: Uniting theme of dangerous works well...
Review: This book contains three of Nora Roberts earlier novels, Risky Business, Storm Warning, and The Welcoming. This book is a REPRINT of the three novels, so be warned if you already own them. The uniting theme is danger, because each of these books contain some sort of mystery, in which there is some sort of danger. Risky Business isn't one of my favorites of the three, but it isn't bad of course. What Nora Roberts romance is? This story is about Liz Palmer who owns Black Coral Dive Shop in Cozumel where she was raising her daughter alone because the childs father didn't want her. She hires a new diving instructor, Jerry Sharpe, but within two weeks of working for her, he turns up dead leading Liz to ask some questions. Jerry's twin brother Jonas shows up asking questions and making trouble for Liz. As each learn about what happened to Jerry, they fall in love, both having to reopen their hearts to the pain of love after failing the first time around. Good story for the most part, but I personally didn't care for Jonas. He seemed a little too detached for me. Storm Warning is the story of Autumn Gallegher and her aunt's inn where she goes to stay. There, she meets up with Lucas, the man she had fallen in love with three years earlier and who had broken her heart horribly. He still seems to care for Autumn, which confuses her a lot, and makes her feelings stronger than ever for him. Meanwhile, one of the guests staying at the inn turns up dead, and everyone is a suspect. Autumn, though she doesn't want to, believes that Lucas might have done it. In between solving the murder, Lucas and Autumn mend their relationship and fall back in love. Good story for the most part, but it wasn't anything super special. It really didn't stick out in my mind too much, though I did like Autumn. The Welcoming was my favorite of the three stories. Charity Ford runs a seaside inn, and one of her new guests is Roman DeWinter. He had come to her inn to expose a criminal organization that was based in her inn. He didn't expect that he would learn to care for Charity, and want something more with her. Charity was a great character, as was Roman. They both fell in love rapidly, and though Roman made a big mistake in not telling Charity the truth, the two were able to work it out for love. Both of these characters had strong convictions, and I thought the "mystery" in this book was the most interesting of the three. All in all, a pretty good selection of books for Nora Roberts fans. Though not some of her best works, I really don't think any fan will be too disappointed in the stories as they are still romantic and filled with love. The only problem is that some of the romance themes seem a little outdated for todays more modern times.

Summary: NOT HER BEST WORK BUT IT WAS GOOD
Review: This book was a good read, but I was very dissapointed with the last two story's. Risky Buisness was a very action packed read, and had just enough romance in it to keep you intertained with the story. I did not like Storm Warning or The Welcoming that well however. They were both good read's, but they did not have enough action in them. I would not recomend this book to first time readers of Nora Roberts.

Summary: 2 really good and 1 is ok
Review: This is yet another reprint of Nora Robert's early work. Unlike other reprints form this year (Going Home, Table fot Two, etc...) this collection has some suspense thrown in which may appeal to fans of her later stuff. The writing style is not as polished as the books she turns out these days but the stories are interesting, especially the last two. I never really got into Risky Business. I had to actually force myself to finish. The mystery never interested me,and I didn't see any chemistry between the two main characters. Still, even Nora on a bad day is better than much of the romance you find out there. I liked Storm Warning better. The two main characters had a history together. I think Nora Roberts is especially good at reuniting old lovers. Also, I liked the fact that this one seemed like an old fashioned who-done-it with a lot of romance mixed in. This was my favorite of the three.
The final book, The Welcoming, was also an entertaining story. I liked both the main characters. I think fans of Nora Roberts will not be disappointed in this collection, especially if they keep in mind that these are some of her earlier works.
